Here's the basic break down that we have at this time.
|
In DARKSIDERS: THE ABOMINATION VAULT, the Horsemen of the Apocalypse (beings charged with maintaining the Balance between the forces of Heaven and Hell) have uncovered a plot to resurrect ancient weapons of unimaginable power. Death, with the help of his compatriot War, must track down and neutralize the mysterious individuals behind the scheme before the entire universe is plunged into a devastating conflict. |
So what they are saying is that during the dark ages some of the forces of Heaven and Hell are trying to bring about weapons that should have been contained by the horsemen? Oh, and only Death and War are moving into action. Um… ok. Cool I guess. I would have rather preferred to have some fiction as to why Pestilence and Famine have yet to step up into action. Hells, maybe something that kind of bridges the stories or maybe even a prequel to the events of Darksiders.
Who knows though? This novel could be just as awesome as some of the Resident Evil novelizations and "in-between" stories. Just seems like you would want to focus on something a bit more original and lore building. Maybe this is just the start to things and we can expect to see more down the line. I guess we'll just have to wait.
